Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA Test of Kangaroo Care on Preterm Infant Breastfeeding.
To test the effects of kangaroo care (KC) on breastfeeding outcomes in preterm infants compared with two control groups and to explore whether maternal-infant characteristics and the mother's choice to use KC were related to breastfeeding measures. ⋯ As implemented in this study, assignment to the KC group did not appear to influence the measured breastfeeding outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of cobedding twins on coregulation, infant state, and twin safety.
To evaluate the efficacy of cobedding on twin coregulation and twin safety. ⋯ Cobedding promotes self-regulation and sleep and decreases crying without apparent increased risk.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of trunk-to-head bathing on physiological responses in newborns.
To determine the effect of trunk-to-head bathing versus the traditional head-to-trunk bathing on newborns' body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. ⋯ These findings suggest that newborns who were bathed from trunk to head and whose heads were wet for shorter periods of time benefited with a more rapid recovery of body temperature and decreased heat loss due to evaporation.

Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized controlled trial to improve outcomes utilizing various warming techniques during cesarean birth.
To examine the effect of various warming methods during cesarean birth (CB) on maternal core body temperature, maternal hypothermia, and other maternal and neonatal outcomes. ⋯ This study adds information on ways to maintain maternal normothermia during surgery. By understanding maternal hypothermia during CB, nurses can use best practice to obtain optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyHeat loss prevention (help) after birth in preterm infants using vinyl isolation bag or polyethylene wrap.
To examine the effects of using vinyl isolation bags or polyethylene wrap for the prevention of postnatal hypothermia in preterm infants at ≤ 32 weeks gestation. ⋯ Wrapping preterm infants of gestational age ≤ 32 weeks in vinyl bags immediately after birth is associated with lower incidences of hypothermia.
